The road of mortal world is the road of life.
Well, life, the days of ordinary people are more interesting.
The moment I open my eyes in the morning, I am running for a living.
Or a trafficker and a pawn.
Or a waiter in a teahouse.
Or pick up a hoe and become a farmer.
If you still have some skills, it would be good to become a chef or something.
Chen Luo also wanted to do this.
Just get out of the house.
Looked up.
Look at the bright sun shining high.
Finally, Chen Luo retreated and came back...
It's not that he's lazy, it's just that the money in his storage bag won't be spent for hundreds of years. Even if it is spent, won't Fellow Taoist Bailong still be there? She also has a lot of blingy kitsch in her storage bag.
Chen Luo has always hated eating soft food.
But if there is soft food to eat, he can't accept it reluctantly.
And the lives of these ordinary people may not all be miserable.
People...
Poverty is a way of life,
Wealth is also a way of life.
There's nothing wrong with taking it easy.
In addition, the weather has been really hot recently. Chen Luo is afraid of heat stroke, so naturally it is difficult to go out.
Fortunately, I developed a good habit of planting trees in the past.
Over the years.
The nutrition is sufficient, and there are not only many trees in the courtyard, but also luxuriant branches and leaves.
Not only will you not feel hot when lying in the courtyard, but it will actually feel cool.
The cicadas chirped incessantly on the trees.
Finally brought a summer atmosphere.
On the tree trunk, the white dragon lay there spitting out the letter.
Xiao Hei was lying on his stomach under the tree, occasionally raising his head to look at Chen Luo, who was lying on the chair and fanning gently with a fan.
Wagged his tail.
Finally he lay down again and went to sleep.
"It's been twenty-eight years since I made contributions!"
Chen Luo sighed.
It has been half a year since Lu Xuan left in the past.
He didn't go anywhere.
But they are all in Kyoto.
Gradually, I got used to the rhythm of Kyoto.
"The crickets chirp, the earthworms come out, and the king melons are born... It's the beginning of summer after all. No wonder this person is getting lazy!"
Chen Luo thought.
He said to Bailong on the tree: "Fellow Taoist Bailong, do you want to go to Fuyun Restaurant to listen to a book?"
Fellow Taoist Bailong on the tree raised his head.
A hissing sound.
But she turned into a girl of fifteen or sixty-seven years old,
"Can!"
Xiao Hei also stood up immediately.
It kept circling around Chen Luo and Bai Long, sometimes sticking out its tongue, sometimes wagging its tail, and sometimes standing up on its front legs.
Apparently, he was also interested after hearing about Fuyun Restaurant.
Chen Luo smiled.
These two guys really liked it there.
In the past six months, Chen Luo often went to Fuyun Restaurant to listen to books.
There are Jianghu knights.
There are also strange people and strange things.
There are also interesting stories about the mountains and wild places,
Those storytellers can tell more stories than I do.
Naturally, everyone, whether Xiao Hei or fellow Taoist Bailong, likes to listen to their stories.
"Then go ahead!"
Chen Luo also got up from the chair.
Two people and one dog.
Wandering to Fuyun Restaurant.
Seeing Chen Luo's arrival from a distance, the waiter rushed to greet him.
"Mr. Chen, are you here? Are you still in the same position and following the same rules?"
Mr. Chen from the west of the city...
Don't know the name.
But he is also a distinguished guest of Fuyun Restaurant.
Be generous.
Likes to drink.
Also a good book to listen to.
Every time I leave, I leave a generous tip.
Naturally, the waiter is also the shopkeeper, and even many guests in Fuyun Restaurant are aware of this Mr. Chen.
"Well, the old position."
Chen Luo replied.
The waiter asked again: "Is Miss Bai still the same?"
"kindness."
"Woof!"
Xiao Hei barked.
The waiter suddenly laughed: "I understand, Master Hei is the same as before."
Whenever this happens, Xiao Hei becomes a little satisfied.
In half a year, Xiao Hei has grown a lot.
It has the physique of an adult black dog...
Strange to say.
Maybe it was because of following Chen Luo, and Xiao Hei's physique didn't seem to stop growing.
These days, Chen Luo feels that it seems to have grown bigger again.
certainly.
I just noticed it, so I can’t guarantee the specifics.
However, when we weighed it, it was indeed three or four kilograms heavier... Xiao Hei now weighs more than thirty kilograms.
fine.
Not an exaggeration.
But Chen Luo still felt that it was better not to be too heavy.
Xiaobai wrote again two days ago.
It lost weight again...
I successfully lost weight from 200 pounds to 225 pounds.
I gained twenty-five pounds in half a year.
This fat loss was really successful.
Go upstairs.
The waiter led Chen Luo and the others to sit by the window. As soon as they came up, someone greeted Chen Luo and the others.
"Master Chen is here to listen to books again?"
"Miss Bai is here too!"
"Ha, Miss Bai has become more and more beautiful recently."
"Woof woof!"
"I almost forgot Master Hei, Master Hei is getting stronger and stronger."
Chen Luo also smiled and greeted everyone.
Soon.
A jug of wine.
One plate of beef and one plate of peanuts.
A plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Another cow bone came up.
The first two are Chen Luo's habits, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is Bai Long's favorite.
As for the bones…
Xiao Hei was already chewing it with great pleasure.
Seeing this scene, Chen Luo nodded happily.
Everyone gets something, which is really great.
The wine is daughter's red.
Laofen wine is still a favorite drink of many people in Kyoto, and it has the largest sales volume.
But Ner Hong is now one of the four must-haves in Kyoto.
As for the origin of this daughter's red, not much is clear.
Some people say that the emperor prepared it for the princess in the past, so she named it Ner Hong.
Some people also say that the old folk hid the wine for decades and waited until the day their daughter got married before drinking it. Because the daughter was dressed in red on the day of the wedding, there is a saying that the daughter is red.
Of course there are other explanations, many and varied.
No one knows which one is true.
There is one, but it is approved by many people.
It is said that when the daughter's red was brewed, the beautiful cardamom girls were selected and brewed bit by bit.
The raw material for making wine was fermented by the cardamom girl holding it bit by bit with her red lips.
That's why the wine is so fragrant.
Not only does it have the fragrance of wine, but it also has the body fragrance of a cardamom girl.
This wine was originally called Women's Wine, but later I thought the name was not good, so I called it Nervhong.
Therefore, it has been called this name for hundreds of years.
When Chen Luo heard these explanations, he fell silent for a while.
If he remembered correctly.
It seems that this daughter Hong’s name was chosen by herself?
And if you take it yourself, you don’t seem to have thought too much about it?
I just heard that Emperor Jianwu gave birth to a daughter...,
So I thought about it, and chose this name?
Now even the cardamom girl is involved?
Still making wine with it in your mouth?
Is this wine?
Are you sure this isn't saliva?
I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say anything...
Everything must have a good story to be interesting.
The daughter is so red.
The same is true for tea.
The stories told in the inn today are somewhat new.
It's a story about a monkey and seven fairies...
Bailong felt a little bit relieved.
Chen Luo also felt a little interested.
Another story related to myself...
But wasn't this story only known to Xiao Xiangning in the past?
How could this old storyteller know?
After I finish talking, I have to ask...
Half an hour later.
After the storyteller finished speaking, Chen Luo called him over. After asking for a while, he felt that things in this world were changing a lot.
The old man's surname is Lin...
In the past, Taizu was a pen writer of the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I was called by the Holy Queen to record a story.
The name of the story is: Journey to the West.
The story of the monkey and the seven fairies comes from Journey to the West,
Later, the family fell into decline.
This descendant has become a storyteller...
Chen Luo nodded without saying anything.
You can't be poor for three generations, you can't be rich for three generations...
It seems that nothing in this world can escape this definition.
only……
Xiao Xiangning...
Long-lost memories and faces came to mind, causing Chen Luo's heart to have different fluctuations.
The little girl who was rescued by him from the Imperial Garden Lake.
That little brat who tortures himself every day.
Later the White Lotus Saint.
The woman who abandoned the posture of the Holy Queen and ran to Handan thousands of miles away because she heard her traces.
that one……
A woman who drags her old body with her to tell the story of the Stone.
"Time has passed, two hundred years have passed... My old friend has long been reduced to withered bones, but I am still here...
This Kyoto is still the Kyoto of the past, but the only thing missing is your shadow. "
Chen Luo sighed in his heart.
No more talking...
Maybe she was reincarnated.
Maybe she had already disappeared.
But even saying goodbye is of no use anymore.
After all, it will never be the same again.
"Are you in a bad mood?"
Bai Long asked Chen Luo.
Although Chen Luo didn't show it on her face, she could still feel it.
"Somewhat emotional."
"What are you feeling?"
"It's hard to find an old friend when a passing horse passes. In the end, gradually, all you have is yourself."
Bailong stopped.
look up.
He looked at Chen Luo.
"What's wrong?"
Bailong said: "I will stay with you, I will live a long life!"
Chen Luo was slightly startled.
Then laughed.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed Bailong's head: "After hearing what Fellow Taoist Bailong said, our family's mood has improved a lot."
"Woof woof!"
"Okay, Xiao Hei will accompany me too."
Xiao Hei wagged his tail.
As he walked swaggering in front of the two of them, he suddenly saw a mouse running past, and he immediately chased after it.
"Why does it catch mice?"
"have no idea."
"Isn't this something that only cats will catch? It's a dog..."
Chen Luo thought for a moment and replied: "That's a bit nosy."
"Yes!"
Soon.
Xiaohei is back.
There is a mouse in his mouth.
Placed it in front of Chen Luo.
Sticking out tongue.
Squatting and looking at him,
The tail was wagging a little happily.
"I can't eat rats."
Chen Luo said.
Xiao Hei looked at Bai Long again.
Bai Long was a little disgusted: "I won't even eat it!"
So Xiao Hei was happy.
Gulu ate the mouse in one bite.
"Chen Luo..."
"kindness?"
"I heard that one of your disciples is a cat demon?"
"Cat Lady, an elegant banshee, and the most elegant cat I have ever seen."
"Then she'll love it."
"That's true!"
Just then, a ray of light passed by and came towards Chen Luo.
Chen Luo pinched it.
That's a message.
"Whose Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission?"
"Cat Lady."
"Oh, what a coincidence!"
"It's a coincidence."
As soon as I mentioned her, her message arrived...
Fortunately, I didn't say anything bad about him behind his back. It would be embarrassing if I did.
But when he knew the information in the transmission, Chen Luo sighed.
"problem occurs?"
"It does, but it doesn't count."
Bailong was puzzled.
"Someone went to Yushan Academy and said they wanted to take someone away, but the academy didn't know what to choose, so they consulted our family."
Bailong said oh.
In this case, it's really not a big problem.
"Then how do you answer?"
Chen Luo smiled and
"Our answer is not important. What is important is how she chooses."
Chen Luo said.
Reach out.
On the sky, pinch a ray of ray of ray of light between your fingers, and then flick it, the ray of ray of light breaks through the void and escapes towards the horizon.
After doing all this, the two of them headed home.
…
Yushan Academy.
Someone from Great Qin asked to see Ning Shuan, the dean of Yushan Academy.
The person who came here was the Duke of the Qin Dynasty and an important minister in the two dynasties: Chu Tunan.
I came here for one thing only: to bring Ning Taiping back to Da Qin and become the princess of the Da Qin royal family...
College lobby.
Chu Tunan and Ning Shu sat peacefully.
"In the past, I, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ying Zheng, was the hostage of Great Zhou. Thanks to the help of Princess Yongle of Great Zhou, I successfully returned to Great Qin.
That Princess Taiping is my Princess of Da Qin. Now that the princess has reached the age of twenty, it is time to go back. "
Chu Tunan said to Ning Shuan.
Ning Shuan did not answer.
Just silence.
Xu Jiu said: "She and the academy are both a student of the academy and an old disciple. She is not a princess of the Qin Dynasty, nor is she a princess of the Zhou Dynasty!"
"She is indeed Master's disciple, but her surname is still Ying after all!"
"More than ten years ago, my master said that there is no Xiao Taiping here anymore, only Ning Taiping!"
"It makes sense not to dispute what my father-in-law said."
Chu Tunan said: "But Princess Taiping was only a three or four-year-old girl at that time. She didn't understand what this meant... Now she is twenty... She should have the right to choose!"
Ning Shuan didn't answer.
Also at this time, a woman came outside the door.
Women are elegant.
A blue dress.
Holding a book in hand.
"Senior brother."
She said to Ning Shuan.
A ray of light appeared and entered the center of Ning Shuan's eyebrows.
"Is this Master's reply?"
"Master said, everything is up to her to decide on her own. Neither he, Yushan Academy, nor you have any choice for her."
Ning Shuan nodded. ,
Not long after, Ning Taiping came.
Now she is over twenty and has grown into a mature woman.
The face vaguely shows the face of Xiao Xiangning in the past.
"I've met Master, Uncle Master..."
She saluted Ning Shuan and Cat Lady.
The cat lady nodded.
Ning Shu'an pointed at Chu Tunan: "That's Chu Tunan of Great Qin. I think you know what's going on, right?"
Ning Taiping did know.
Her identity is not a secret in Yushan Academy, everyone knows it.
Chu Tunan was an important minister in the two dynasties of Qin Dynasty.
The purpose of coming here this time is to take her back to Daqin. How could you not know about this?
"Your teacher said that this matter is related to your future and choices... Neither Yushan Academy nor anyone else can make a choice for you."
"How...how do you choose?"
Chu Tunan has knelt down on one knee,
"Your Majesty Chu Tunan, please invite the princess to return to the Qin Dynasty so that the father and daughter can be reunited and recognize their ancestors!"
Ning Taiping stood there.
She fell silent.
He looked at his master for a while.
After a while, he looked at Chu Tunan kneeling on the ground...
She pursed her lips, struggling internally.
When the Cat Lady saw this scene, she sighed slightly, took out the book, and started reading.
Ning Shuan also sighed slightly.
"In the past, the whole court asked Changle to be killed. Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it. Master came and ordered me to enter Kyoto alone and finally carry you out of Kyoto!
The word "peace" is the hope that as you stay away, whether it is Kyoto or Daqin, you can eventually move towards peace!
And you have become the only disciple that I recognize! "
"Master..."
Ning Taiping opened his mouth,
But was stopped by Ning Shuan.
"Seventeen years ago, Master returned to Yushan to see you and Xiao Weining, hoping that from now on you would have nothing to do with Xiao Ying, so that you could spend this long life well and peacefully."
It's a pity... maybe this ordinary life is not suitable for you, right? "
Plop.
Ning Taiping knelt down.
"Master, I am ashamed of your and my master's teachings, and I have let you and your master down."
"Nothing!"
Ning Shuan shook his head: "Everyone has his own ambitions, but everyone chooses a different path. I am not disappointed, but I have something to say, and I want to make it clear to you.
After going down the mountain today, there will be no peace or peace in this world, be it Xiao, Ying, or King Zhou, Wu and Zheng, but there will be no peace! "
Ning Shuan said:
"This is the first and second. From today on, you are no longer a student of Yushan Academy, nor will you be my disciple, let alone a disciple who does not fight against father-in-law. You still need to keep this in mind. If I hear you Speaking of this matter, I have to go to Yushan again!"
"Three... The journey to Da Qin will definitely not be that simple.
If you go to Da Qin, there will be many dangers in court battles and royal family fights for favor.
The emperor of Yingshi was a wise king, and Yingzheng is now the prince of Qin. Your identity is naturally not simple.
Since you went up the mountain, you have not come down for twenty years. It is difficult to predict the difficulty of people in this world. I hope you will see more, listen more, think more, talk less, do less, and act less! "
"You, go down the mountain!"
After Ning Shuan said this, he closed his eyes.
Taiping kowtows.
Tears streaming down my face.
"Disciple thanks Master for your advice. In this life, you should remember three more and three less... But after today, I will no longer be able to serve you.
I also hope that you, the elderly, can take care of your health. "
boom!
boom!
boom!
She kowtowed nine times.
The forehead is full of blood...
Then, under the leadership of Chu Tunan, they walked down to Yushan Academy.
"Master didn't say that she needs to cut off her relationship with Yushan Academy."
After waiting for people to leave,
Cat Lady put down the book in her hand.
"Master won't say it, but this is what senior brother should do. From now on... her identity is no longer simple.
The master does not want to get involved in the affairs of the court and the destiny of the country, and he does not like trouble.
He may not say it, but as disciples, we should not be ignorant. "
His eyes are dark...
Looking at the peace going down the mountain, I couldn't let go.
Twenty years of relationship.
From infancy to now a young girl.
Ning Shuan and her have feelings after all...
Today, this relationship is finally broken. ,
"Master, did you say when you will be back?"
"He said that Kyoto is still fine and has no intention of coming back..."
"Well, where's the Cat Lady?"
"kindness?"
"Have you ever thought about going to Kyoto?"
The cat lady is silent...
for a long time.
nod,
"I haven't seen Master for a long time, but I miss him."
